    I just find it interesting how some love to blame the US first for issues in other countries.

    It is a known pattern. Even the article itself points out the U.S. has a hand in the current crisis:

    The nation of 11 million is experiencing its worst economic crisis since the collapse of the Soviet bloc in the 1990s due to fallout from the coronavirus pandemic, the recent tightening of US sanctions and structural weaknesses in the economy.

      I took that last line to mean the monetary sanctions the US placed on Cuba. No money can be transfered from the US and no credit lines can be had from US banks.
